How did you decide to go into your field?
My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began as a natural extension of my passion for holistic health and wellness. After working as a massage therapist and yoga instructor in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, I developed a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of body and mind.
The desire to expand my knowledge and skills led me to explore acupuncture and its profound ability to address a wide range of health issues. I was particularly drawn to the principles of TCM, which align with my belief in treating the whole person rather than just symptoms.
